TEN (NOT VERY) FASCINATING FACTS ABOUT THE RABBIT FOOT SPASM BAND. 1. When Radiology Taylor first turned up to a rehearsal, Muggsy West thought he was a copper and hid in the toilet.2. When he first joined ORFSB Buzz Booker did not own a pair of shoes. He now has two pairs. 3. Dr. Bunny Eros was a Rhodes scholar at Oxford University. Despite this accomplishment he does not possess a single GCSE. 4. At an book-signing in Blackwell’s in Oxford, Thumper Simpson once got Norma Major to sign "with love, Norma" in the front of a copy of Mein Kampf. 5. Baron Macbeth and Bunny Eros also run a mobile French restaurant and a mobile wind-up gramophone DJ service - an astonishing feat for two men who cannot drive a car. 6. When the band first played Oxford Town Hall Muggy West won six out ten prizes in the raffle. He arrived home the next morning carrying two and a half cases of wine, a tent, a collapsible deck chair and a make-up bag. 7. Buzz Booker’s uncle Phillip is Thom Yorke from Radiohead’s mother’s window cleaner. 8. King Martin is the only member of the band to be born in England. He once threw an egg at Mrs. Thatcher, but missed. 9. Off stage the band’s personnel comprises two chefs, an IT teacher, an anthropologist, a molecular physicist, a bus driver, and a reformed Al Jolson impersonator. 10. Baron Macbeth had to move house, as the band got so big that they would no longer fit in his living room. |
